Chapter 111 - TTFSO Chapter 111
In the morning, when Tang Wu Yuan opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was the handsome face of Song Xiao Bai on the opposite side of the bed, and his eyes were frozen for a moment.
Song Xiao Bai opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was Tang Wu Yuan’s face shrunken under the blanket, staring at him blankly. Because he had just woken up, Tang Wu Yuan’s face was red and puffy, his hair soft, the sharpness of the past was lost and the whole person was so soft that he wanted to rub him.
They looked at each other for a moment, both seeing surprise and discomfort in each other’s eyes, before sitting up at the same time.
Tang Wu Yuan rubbed his hair. The taste of opening his eyes and seeing his nemesis first thing in the morning, it was really sour.
He raised his head and looked out of the room, the morning sun was cold and bright, the day had passed and he was finally free from having to stay under the same roof as his nemesis. He nimbly got off the bed and cleaned up, he just wanted to leave the hospital early. Evidently, Song Xiao Bai had the same idea as him, he had already went to the bathroom directly to take a shower.
When Tang Wu Yuan was brushing his teeth in the bathroom, he heard a knock on the door, thinking that Zhu Qiang had arrived and didn’t care. He heard Song Xiao Bai opening the door, the mumbling sound of voices, and then the room was quiet once again.
When he finished brushing his teeth and walked out, he noticed that there was breakfast on the table. He went over and looked at it, there were quite a few of his favourite breakfast items, “Where did the breakfast come from ah?” He felt that if Zhu Qiang had bought the breakfast, Zhu Qiang would never have brought his share.
“Your brother sent it.” Song Xiao Bai took out the breakfast and laid it out one by one, no more and no less than exactly two portions.
Yesterday, Tang Wu Yuan asked Tang Liu Yuan to buy two sheets, so Tang Liu Yuan knew that there should be another person living here besides Tang Wu Yuan, so he bought two breakfasts and sent them over.
Tang Wu Yuan nodded, although Xiao Liu was a bit cold, but he has always been attentive and thoughtful, extra caring towards the family. Xiao Qi’s body was not well when he was a child, only Xiao Liu and Xiao Qi went to the same school, it can be said that Xiao Liu helped to take care of Xiao Qi until he grew up.
He walked over and took a sip of his favourite sweet milk, then squinted his eyes in contentment, his eyebrows arched like two cute little crescent moons.
Song Xiao Bai hooked his lips shallowly and said: “Your family’s naming is so interesting, your brother is even called Tang Liu Yuan, those who don’t know would think there are six children in your family altogether.”
Tang Wu Yuan’s heart jumped and he gave Song Xiao Bai a wary look, but when he saw that Song Xiao Bai’s face was as normal, he calmed down and said in a normal manner: “Many people have misunderstood it like that.”
It was indeed a misunderstanding, because there were not six children in their family, but seven.
Song Xiao Bai sat down opposite him and didn’t think much of it. Interstellar now promoted quality eugenics, and there were usually only one or two children in a family, so if there were six children, it was a bit unbelievable and almost impossible.
Tang Wu Yuan observed his face and in his heart, he couldn’t help but be thankful that Song Xiao Bai usually doesn’t watch entertainment news, otherwise if he knew there was another Tang San Yuan, he might have been really suspicious.
Neither of them said anything more, bowing their heads and eating their breakfast quietly.
When Zhu Qiang walked into the ward with a smile on his face holding the breakfast he had bought for his life-saving benefactor, he saw that Tang Wu Yuan and Song Xiao Bai had already finished their breakfast.
The smile on his face quickly dimmed and his thick black eyebrows furrowed in frustration. He had wanted to show off to Tang Wu Yuan, but now could only eat his breakfast alone gloomily at a fast pace.
After eating their breakfast, Song Xiao Bai and Tang Wu Yuan went to go through the ‘discharge procedure’.
The army sent a car to pick them up. Tang Wu Yuan wanted to go and say goodbye to Tang Liu Yuan but unfortunately, Tang Liu Yuan was not in his office. Hearing the nurse say that he was in a meeting, Tang Wu Yuan did not bother him and asked the nurse to help relay a message and left first.
Tang Wu Yuan and Song Xiao Bai walked out of the hospital together. As it had rained all night last night, the air outside was exceptionally fresh and the sky was blue and clear after the rain, which made people feel happy.
The army car was delayed and hadn’t come over yet. Tang Wu Yuan and Song Xiao Bai stood side by side under the eaves waiting. Zhu Qiang not far behind them, had his gaze fixed on them, as if he was worried that Tang Wu Yuan might eat Song Xiao Bai.
Tang Wu Yuan looked up at the water-washed blue sky, his gaze pure and clean, his bright pupils lit by the sunlight with a pale light.
Song Xiao Bai only looked at Tang Wu Yuan for a moment before his gaze was fixed.
He had seldom seen Tang Wu Yuan looking like this. Usually when Tang Wu Yuan looked at him, his expression was always tainted with anger and his eyes were round and glaring, looking crystalline and lively, but Tang Wu Yuan’s eyes were now very serene, like a pool of clear lake water inside, cleaner and clearer than the azure sky above.
His eyes unconsciously lingered, and then……he saw Zhu Qiang’s enlarged face.
Song Xiao Bai immediately took a step back, sank the corners of his mouth, and moved his eyes away.
Zhu Qiang stuck his head between the two, his heart was a million times more frightened. Just now the Major General actually looked at the Commander in a trance, this is not good, the Commander looks so beautiful, if the Major General continues to look at him, he will definitely be hooked and even lose his soul.
If the Major General fell in love with the Commander, how dangerous would that be? If they did get together, after the wedding, he wouldn’t be able to go into the bridal chamber to protect the Major General, what if the Major General was beaten by the Commander. Although he couldn’t beat the Commander, but he could physically resist him.
Tang Wu Yuan didn’t know that Zhu Qiang had already thought about what would happen after he and Song Xiao Bai got married, he just saw Zhu Qiang leaning over and immediately took a step back just like Song Xiao Bai.
“……” Zhu Qiang looked at the two officers who kept their distance from him left and right and felt a deep dislike.
The army car soon arrived and Zhu Qiang got into the passenger seat, while Tang Wu Yuan and Song Xiao Bai sat in the back.
Tang Wu Yuan looked at Zhu Qiang, who was closing the car door in front of him, and suddenly bumped his elbow into Song Xiao Bai and hooked his finger at him.
Song Xiao Bai bowed his head slightly and turned his ear.
Tang Wu Yuan lowered his voice and asked: “Does Zhu Qiang have a crush on you?”
His voice was laced with genuine curiosity and he asked with great seriousness.
“……” Song Xiao Bai’s expression was like swallowing a fly when he heard his words, pausing for a moment and twisting his head away, his gaze sullenly looking out the window, the corners of his mouth curving downwards, his face sank even darker than Zhu Qiang’s tanned complexion.
Tang Wu Yuan found Song Xiao Bai’s sulking look surprisingly cute, but……is Zhu Qiang really not secretly in love with Song Xiao Bai?
Tang Wu Yuan looked at Zhu Qiang, who stubbornly turned his head and stared at him and Song Xiao Bai even though he was sitting in the passenger seat, and interrogated his soul.
When he got out of the car, Zhu Qiang, worried about Song Xiao Bai’s health, immediately went over to help him, but Song Xiao Bai dodged in silence and gave him a look that was hard to describe.
Zhu Qiang scratched his head innocently, why did he feel that the Major General was looking at him strangely?
When Tang Wu Yuan and Song Xiao Bai returned to the army, everyone looked sideways and was more or less surprised to see that both Song Xiao Bai and Tang Wu Yuan were as good as new and did not look like they had been ‘seriously injured’, but no one asked more questions, nor did anyone dare to ask more.
Only the Lieutenant General, with a few men behind him, came over with a smile and said, “Has the Major General and the Commander recovered?”
Tang Wu Yuan nodded, not blushing at all at being able to ‘recover as good as before’ so quickly, anyway as long as the expedition was resolved, it no longer mattered whether he and Song Xiao Bai were injured or not.
Song Xiao Bai looked behind the Lieutenant General, who had several soldiers following behind him, all new faces that had not been seen in the Golden Eagle Army before.
The Lieutenant General smiled and introduced them: “These are the new soldiers assigned over this year, I’ve heard that each one is a talent.”
These words were said almost every year, because those who could be assigned to the Golden Eagle Army were the outstanding ones of each class, and ordinary soldiers could not even enter the gates of this place.
The Lieutenant General said to the soldiers behind him: “These two are the Major General and the Commander, you each briefly introduce yourselves.”
“Yes!” The teenagers stood in standard posture and saluted with energetic voices, containing a vision of the future and respect for their officers, loud and clear.
Song Xiao Bai and Tang Wu Yuan stopped where they were, listening to their introductions one by one, while the soldiers around them, who had not yet started their training, all came over curiously to see the new recruits.
The new recruits were all in high spirits, their eyes bright with light as they introduced themselves, proud and excited that they had entered the best army in the Empire and met the most powerful officers. Being able to enter the Golden Eagle Army was a recognition of their abilities, and they would make more contributions to the Empire here in the future.
Zhu Qiang stood behind Song Xiao Bai for half a day and couldn’t help but mutter in a small voice, “How come there’s still no one who looks stronger than me……”
He had always been the strongest looking person in the Golden Eagle Army, and physical work was often done by him, so he had been expecting someone to take over his position and make him ‘petite’ as well.
Song Xiao Bai heard his voice appear behind him and frowned a little, quietly moving a step away.
Zhu Qiang: “……” Why do I seem to feel a deep dislike from the Major General.
The recruits took turns to introduce themselves, and when it was the last recruit’s turn to be introduced, he first gave a standard posture salute to Song Xiao Bai and Tang Wu Yuan, and then said in a loud voice to Song Xiao Bai, “Hello Major General!”
When he looked at Tang Wu Yuan, he got stuck, his clear face swelling red, “Hello Tang, Commander Tang, I’m Jiang, Jiang Sheng Liang from the 7th Troop……”
Tang Wu Yuan inadvertently looked at him, Jiang Sheng Liang had a crew cut, wore a military uniform as straight like a white poplar, and his face was so red that it was impossible to see his original skin colour, and his voice was slightly trembling from nervousness.
The Lieutenant General looked on and couldn’t help but let out a laugh, “What’s wrong with you? I’ve heard that you’re the best of the new recruits, weren’t you quite smooth when you spoke just now? Why are you reacting like this now in front of the Major General and the Commander? You should behave well, and be careful that the Major General and the Commander throw you out of the Golden Eagle Army.”
He had always been a good old boy in the army, and even with new recruits, his attitude was as harmonious as that of an old friend.
Jiang Sheng Liang’s cheeks swelled even redder and he raised his head to steal a glance at Tang Wu Yuan, and when he saw that Tang Wu Yuan was looking at him, he hastily dropped his head again.
Tang Wu Yuan found his reaction somewhat amusing and deliberately walked up to him, teasingly saying, “Are you afraid of me?”
Jiang Sheng Liang shook his head quickly and said with a red face, “You, you are my idol……”
Song Xiao Bai lowered his eyes and glanced at him, his gaze lingering for a moment before faintly leaving again.
Tang Wu Yuan was stunned for a moment, the word idol was new, he couldn’t help but look at Song Xiao Bai. Generally people in the army are more worshipful of an Alpha like Song Xiao Bai who is imposing and physically strong, this is a kind of man’s natural worship of the strong.
How could Jiang Sheng Liang like him instead of Song Xiao Bai?
He couldn’t help but let out a novel laugh and asked with a raised eyebrow: “Idol? What do you worship about me?”
The soldiers around him all looked at Jiang Sheng Liang, very curious about his answer.
Jiang Sheng Liang blushed for a moment and looked up at Tang Wu Yuan as if he had gathered all his courage and said loudly, “Replying Sir, you are good looking!”
When everyone heard his answer, they immediately burst into laughter, with Zhu Qiang laughing the most uncontrollably, as if he was out of breath from laughing.
Everyone usually trains together and goes to the battlefield together. They are brothers who have gone through thick and thin together. Although the army was very disciplined and Tang Wu Yuan is an officer, Tang Wu Yuan and Song Xiao Bai never put up an official front, so they didn’t have so many scruples and were like good brothers except in combat and training.
Tang Wu Yuan listened to the laughter around him, met Jiang Sheng Liang’s innocent eyes, and couldn’t help twitching the corners of his mouth, “……” Do you have a grudge against me?
Song Xiao Bai, amidst everyone’s laughter, gave Jiang Sheng Liang a deep look, turned and walked away without a word, with a steady gait and a straight posture.
